Sad, someone wrote "loser" on the dust of the back window. That's a U.S. Crossfire not a European model from the looks of right tail light. Gotta be a lot of losers in Dubai right now.

The lettering is too low, either they came with different height lettering internationally, or someone took it all off, and then put it back on a few inches lower

Not exactly the cleanest Crossfire I've ever seen??? Spoiler up while parked? Bad Crossfire etiquette!

That's odd.

There was a new member from Dubai joining the forum last week.

The 2004's all had the lower lettering. For the 2005's, they raised it up a bit to fit the SRT6 badge underneath. Never moved it back down on subsequent models.

It's so dirty because people can't afford their cars, and they just abandon them. That's pretty bad etiquette haha.

I guess I don't know how to do the links! Copy and paste time. Crossfire is used as an example of their lights. What do you know, spend enough time and some learning eventually happens.
